Default Infiniti Rims on a 350Z?

Would it be pathetic or traitor like to put the 19" G35 rims on the 350Z? All in all, they are very nice and like them on the G#%, but not sure if I should "cross over" by putting G35 parts onj a 350.

There's a guy selling a set of 4 in the classifieds and the bidding begins at $150 for the set of rims only.

I'm considering new wheels on my Ultra Yellow, but don't want to shell out a great deal of money.

Thoughts?

honestly those rims will end up past 1500, the track rims are about 1200-1500 already.
and if you used the searched button you would've ended up wit these pics...

Man, that is sharp. I think you're right on the end cost of those wheels. I'm looking elsewhere in any event. I was just curious about other opinions on the subject.

Sounds like a good deal if the tires are in good shape.

well here is the link http://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/pts/2516749524.html

one questions that i have is he says they are 18's and everybody ive seen on the forum is rocking them in 19's , did they make the same set of wheels for infiniti with different sizes? or are these even the same wheels?

also the comment about the tires, the add says he is estimating 3k-5k miles out of the tires on them currently, i thought it wouldnt be a big deal, i just bought rear tires for my 08 Z base, and my fronts are fine, i thought i could just go to tire warehouse and have them put my tires on those rims and put them on my car so i asked him for the sizes he has on the rims, he says the fronts are 225/45/18 and the rear are 225/45/18, well that raised a problem because while my fronts are 225/45/18 my rears are 245/45/18 so if im correct i would be downsizing the width of my current rims by putting these on? i dont know much about tire sizes but is it impossible to fit mine on the rims? or am i going to have to buy two new rear tires just to fit them on? also not crazy about going to a smaller width.. any info would be appreciated

Those wheels were never available in 18" sizes, they were only available in 19's.

The ones that he is selling are replica's:

The way to tell is that the original wheels have "Rays" and "Forged" stamping on the lips and are of course 19"s

I'm fairly certain the g35 sedan had a set of sport wheels that look almost identical to the coupe's 19's, but were actually 18s. They probably arent forged or as wide as the coupes, that could be what he's talking about.
